The slide shows are cool but we are worried that they may take some too long to load and view our web page. So will you do us a favor and let us know...if it takes too long. We'll try something else! Thanks.

Well, we are on the eve of the first full year of my father's home going with Jesus. It still hurts very much. Father's day is around the corner and so is my father's birthday. I never knew or felt what it was like to lose someone so close to me. It's been troubling at times... I feel like it has become harder instead of easier.
God is always their offering peace that passes all understanding...I just have to be willing to take it!
Times are still very rough and emotional for my mom and sisters but God has been so VERY faithful to each one us! He has not left our side. We look forward to continued healing for our family and for the Lords financial provisions.

On a more exciting note! God has been working in our hearts while back here in Toledo. In April we officially became licensed foster/adoptive parents in the state of Ohio!
You might ask where this came from....you'll have to read the post under this one for the answer.
With that said, we have felt God preparing us for more children for over a year now. Children with special needs who might have been hurt, starved, abused or neglected. We are also willing and open to take care of and love a child who has mild physical or mental needs.
We aren't sure why, where or when but we definately know He is up to something good!
We trust in God's perfect timing.

We are praying that God would raise up a strong team of prayer warriors for our family. Individuals and families who will TEAM up with us, who will be on their knees praying for God's strength to work through us and enable us to go and stay in a third world country. Reaching people who have no chance of hearing the Good News if missionaries don't go and tell them.
Our needs will be and are great...we will not be able to work during the training at the Missionary Traing Center (MTC) in Missouri. In order to be accepted into the program we will have to be debt free, which means we need to pay off Aaron's school loan of $7500 before we return to school. We will have to be supported monthly with enough support to pay our tuition, housing, food and necessities. We are praying that God would raise up a strong team of individuals and families that have a heart to give to further the Lord's Kingdom. We pray that this team will be able to support us as we become equipped and as we head overseas.
We could return to NTBI as soon as this August and then onto MTC in January if God provides the needed funds. So please pray that Aaron will have plenty of work and we are able to save and pay off the loan, or that God will supply in other ways.
A final decision to return to school has to be made by August 1st (less than 7 weeks away).
Will you pray with us for God's leading as we seek Him and what desires He has for our family this year.
God Bless and thanks for all your love and support!
